How do you create a charge in stripe?

To charge a credit card or other payment source, you create a Charge object. If your API key is in test mode, the supplied payment source (e.g., card) won’t actually be charged, although everything else will occur as if in live mode. (Stripe assumes that the charge would have completed successfully).

The reference you give in your question is for a Stripe Charge object which does accept metadata. You cannot attach metadata to a Session, but you can attach metadata to either the payment_intent or setup_intent that will be created in the session. See the documentation, you pass it as payment_intent_data.metadata.

What happens if stripe does not accept payment?

Instead, Stripe does not charge the card as it’s likely the payment is fraudulent and could result in a dispute. Depending on the type of card being used, some customers may see the card issuer’s authorization for the payment amount on their statement. This amount has not been charged and no funds have been taken.
